    As an American, I feel overwhelming sympathy for the people in the DPRK. They suffer so much and I just wish we could help the people without Un just taking it all for himself. I do understand why the Kim regime hates us, however. Our existence and partnership with the South stopped Kim Il Sung from taking the whole peninsula. If I was an authoritarian dictator, I'd be mad about being stopped too.
    Please be well and make sure you drink lots of water!

    It’s a little funny that North Korea is still this focused on America when, in general, we don’t really think about North Korea. What I mean is, our news barely discusses them unless something just happened, they aren’t considered something we have to worry about

      Because no news makes it out of their country...media is entirely state-run. All we can learn about NK are things they do out in the open like rocket tests etc.

      Tbh, the South is very similar, despite the proximity. Most of them don't even know anything is happening until something really happens

    Generally, most Americans learn about North Korea around middle school (age 12 to 14) but its more centered around discussions of America's involvement in the Korean War, current events or as an example when discussing the different types of governments in the world. It becomes a sort of a small fascination when learning about it, as its sort of portrayed as the antithesis to America ideologically. It's not uncommon for students to look up more on it just because I think it's hard to grasp what living in that oppressive of a society would be like, it's just so foreign to us. I'm surprised to hear how much they know about our culture and media while being told to hate us, and its interesting to hear what contradictions were noticed. But outside of belittling Kim, the feeling is just somber and sad. We were raised with the idea that our country tends to be the one to go to other countries and try to help (only then to wonder how much good it actually did when we're older) and just wishing we could do something, or having something happen that would give us the opportunity. As divided as a country we can sometimes be, our gut reaction tends to be to immediately think about ways to right oppression and injustice, but feel frustrated when we can't figure out how.

    Freedom is extremely costly. Many have to be willing to sacrifice their lives to obtain it. I can't say if I'd fight or not is I was in North Korea. But I do know I wouldn't be free now if generations of Americans weren't willing to sacrifice themselves and their families for that freedom. It's worth it if you can fight. We all die , wouldn't it be better to live first?

    To be fair, due to the way our system is set up, there *are* lots of people in America who can't afford to go to the hospital, everything is commodified, and most of the wealth belongs to a handful of oligarchs and corporations, so that particular point is very on the money
